Chapter 1322: Chapter 1321 Su Zhan

"Don’t be so agitated!" Wu Daozi chuckled, "Didn’t I just mention, I will talk first. If you think this secret is worth exchanging, then you share yours. If you think it’s not worth it, then let’s end it here, how about that?"

"Yes, yes." Yuan Tiangang added on the side: "Just like the saying, if the deal doesn’t go through, we still have our integrity, if you think it’s not worth exchanging, then let’s just end here, why resort to insults?"

Su Yang now wanted to do more than just curse; he actually wanted to hit someone. But, that’s only if he could actually defeat these two old foxes.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger in his heart, Su Yang said gravely, "Can I trust what you two say? What if I tell you everything and you two just run off, wouldn’t I be talking for nothing?"

"You really underestimate us both." Wu Daozi retorted disdainfully, "Are we those types of people?"

Su Yang nodded vigorously, and Wu Daozi, a bit embarrassed, coughed twice: "Alright, enough nonsense. So, can we talk or not? If not, let’s forget it, we’ll just go back to sleep."

Yuan Tiangang stretched lazily: "Yeah, got full and sleepy after eating. If you’re not willing to talk, we’re going to sleep."

After careful consideration, Su Yang finally gave in. It was clear these two old men were playing him since they grasped his situation. It looked like if Su Yang didn’t talk, they definitely wouldn’t either. Thus, Su Yang had no choice but to compromise.

"Fine, I’ll talk first!" Su Yang gritted his teeth and recounted the events he encountered in the secret chamber below.

The two listened very carefully, as if they were afraid of missing any detail. Even after Su Yang finished, they kept asking about some specifics.

Su Yang helplessly clarified everything completely, and it was apparent that the two were deeply shocked. After listening to Su Yang, the two exchanged glances for a while, seeming to ponder the situation.

"Alright, you two figure out what you need to between yourselves!" Su Yang said sternly. "Now, can you two continue with the previous matter?"

This time, the two did not renege. Wu Daozi continued: "The Destiny Compass, originating from the Su Family of Yanbei, is a magic artifact of the previous Family Head, Su Zhan, who is Black Widow’s biological father. Over a decade ago, Su Zhan vanished after a great battle, with no known results, but the Destiny Compass was shattered, scattering its pieces around the world, including the Bronze Seal Script you have. It is said to contain some of Su Zhan’s cultivation insights, thus, countless people are seeking these pieces, hoping to uncover Su Zhan’s secret techniques!"

Su Yang was stunned. So, that was the origin of the Bronze Seal Script. No wonder Black Widow valued these pieces so much; after all, they were fragments of her father’s magic artifact. Black Widow had been collecting the Bronze Seal Script pieces, seemingly hoping to restore the once-whole Destiny Compass!

"Su Zhan, this person..." Su Yang paused slightly, "Was he very strong?"

Recalling what Black Widow had mentioned, that Su Zhan alone could contend with any of the Ten Great Sects, what level of incredible talent was he?

"Not just strong..." Yuan Tiangang murmured softly, "Su Zhan was the only person who could compare to an assassin. Even Ye Jiansheng, the Sword Saint, has not reached such heights!"

"Assassin!" Su Yang took a deep breath, he had heard this name mentioned by Ye Jiansheng.

Even someone as formidable as Sword Saint respected the Assassin; as others need a whole sect or clan to challenge the rules of Heavenly Court. In contrast, the Assassin simply defied Heavenly Court’s rules all by himself!

People negotiated with Heavenly Court to ensure Law Enforcers could not enter their domain.

But for the Assassin, no negotiation was needed. If Law Enforcers came after him, he would simply kill them, with no room for discussion!

Despite Su Yang not knowing the true extent of Heavenly Court’s strength, it surely must be more formidable than the combined force of the Ten Great Sects, otherwise, why could Heavenly Court’s law govern everywhere?

But the Assassin alone could defy Heavenly Court; what kind of incredible person was he?

And Su Zhan, to be spoken of in the same league as the Assassin. Just this fact alone revealed the extent of his strength!

"Since he was so powerful, who could possibly kill him?" Su Yang asked in surprise.

"When did I say he died?" Wu Daozi countered.

"Huh?" Su Yang sounded puzzled: "Didn’t you just say..."

"I said after that battle, the Destiny Compass shattered, and Su Zhan went missing. But, I didn’t say he died!" Wu Daozi clarified: "Missing and dying are two different things."

Su Yang scratched his head. With that said, was there still hope that Su Zhan was alive?

"However, the world underwent great changes after Su Zhan’s disappearance," Yuan Tiangang said. "While he was around, he united the Great Sects and the hidden families in forming an agreement with Qinghe Academy to participate in the Celestial Battle. At that time, all the Great Sects and major families worked together, making the Celestial Battle relatively easy. But after Su Zhan went missing, the Great Sects and families started slacking. And the Celestial Battle seemed almost solely Qinghe Academy’s affair."

Yuan Tiangang sighed repeatedly as he spoke.

Wu Daozi also shook his head: "The most apparent are the Su Family of Yanbei and the Medicine Sect."

"What happened to the Su Family of Yanbei?" Su Yang asked in surprise. He knew a bit about the Medicine Sect, but what issues did the Su Family of Yanbei face?

"After Su Zhan disappeared, the Family Head position of the Su Family of Yanbei was taken over by Su Zhan’s brother," Wu Daozi explained. "Not long after he assumed the position, Black Widow was married off to the Capital City. Meanwhile, Su Zhan’s biological son suffered an accident, hitting his head and becoming mentally impaired, forever unable to cultivate. With that, Su Zhan’s lineage was effectively extinguished. The power of the Su Family also plummeted sharply, and they even stopped participating in the Celestial Battle, having little to do with Qinghe Academy over the years, completely neglecting the agreement set by Su Zhan previously!"

Su Yang furrowed his brows; Wu Daozi’s words carried a deep resentment towards the Su Family of Yanbei. Moreover, his words seemed to implicate that Su Zhan’s brother wasn’t treating Su Zhan’s children well.

With Black Widow married off early and Su Zhan’s son becoming mentally impaired, everything seemed suspiciously like a conspiracy.
